Ghostwriting, Content Marketing and Dollars and Sense

Or, why I haven’t been blogging as much

I’ve plunged back into the world of working and it’s been a bit of an adventure, trying to coordinate deadlines, kids and sleep. This poor blog has been neglected! I do feel like I’m getting a better handle on things and once this adjustment period is over, I’ll back back to updating a few times a week.

My friend Sean Platt, aka Writer Dad offered me the opportunity to join him at Ghostwriter Dad and I eagerly accepted. I am serving as a lead writer and content marketing specialist, which basically means that I not only provide professional ghostwriting services but also work with Sean to design article marketing campaigns for our clients and brief them on current best practices.

We don’t just work for clients, Sean and I are working with his wife, Cindy Platt and our friend David Wright, aka Blogger Dad on a series of future information products and websites. I’ve signed on as content manager for Potty Training Power and will be working with the Platts and David to build this business.

I am also writing for Health Compare Guide, my usual section will be Dollars and Sense however I’ve also written for the other sections and will fill in as needed.

I’ve been amazingly busy but I’ve also learned so much just jumping in and seeing if I’d sink or swim. It’s been awesome to be able to apply the knowledge I’ve gained in my years of blogging and being active in social media/community management and to be able to use it to help people expand their online presence in a strategic way.

Juggling all of these new responsibilities with being a wife and mother and blogger is a challenge but I’m confident that I will find my balance.
